All right, as soon as you’ve been finished with your account settings, let’s return to the house screen. I simply wan na show you where some of those modifications occur. I’m gon na click on my link here simply to show you where this shows up. So this is the preliminary landing page where people are gon na see my profile image, my name and that welcome message. I have actually got 2 occasions presently that people can pick from and when they click on one of those occasions, they are likewise gon na see my branding here. This is where the logo comes into play.

We have actually got two choices here, we can either produce an individually conference or a group meeting. Now a group conference lets multiple guests meet you at a single time. This may be fantastic for an instructor or if you are providing a group webinar or something along those lines here. But in most cases, the majority of people are using Calendly for individually meeting.
So let’s say create for one-on-one. On this screen, the first thing that we need to do is give it an occasion name. Now remember, this is more than just your reference.

In our example, I’m gon na select call in this case. And in most cases, depending on the choice that you select, you may have some extra choices waiting on you. For example, do I wan na choose if I will call my invitee in this case, it’s gon na need the individual who’s booking that time to list their phone number. I need to know who I’m calling or I can choose this alternative, my invitee must call me. In this case, I can add my wanted contact number here and the fantastic thing with Calendly is that it’s not going to show this number till they have reserved the visit. So if somebody is thinking about booking time with me, it’s not as if they’re gon na see my telephone number or my dial in number immediately, it’s just after they’ve scheduled the time will this number be exposed. In this case, I’m gon na state, I will call my guests ’cause I’m gon na ask them to supply their phone number. I’m gon na state update, that’s gon na conserve that option here.
